Nature can be so amazing, right? Each creature has its unique way fo functioning and adaptation into its environment. So when we come across such spectacles it leaves us astonished. Talking about camouflaging in creatures, we primarily think of chameleons. But do you know owls can also ace the camouflaging trait? A recent picture of an owl carefully hiding in plain sight of tree bark has been shared by IFS officer Susanta Nanda. He rightly calls it "One of the best camouflage". The picture makes it look like a tree with an eye. We also show you other similar pictures which prove these nocturnal birds are good at hiding. Can You Spot a Snow Leopard in This Pic? Photograph of Big Cat Hiding in Plain Sight Goes Viral.
The picture was shared by IFS officer Susanta Nanda this evening. He captioned it "Tree with an eye." It is not exactly sure if he has taken the picture or has shared someone's picture, but the timing of the picture is perfect. A screech owl is hiding in the barks of the tree and it looks exactly similar to the bark. In fact, had the owl's eye been closed, it would make it even more difficult to spot the bird in there in the first place.

Owls can beat some chameleons at camouflage, don't you think? All of them are hiding in such plain sight and only recognisable because of their eyes! Nature never fails to amaze, does it?
